    I did engage I provided examples off the top of my head of non oppressive (and some would say necessary/positive) hierarchy. You’re the one refusing to engage, smug posting instead of engaging with the fact that if non oppressive (or necessary/positive) hierarchy exists then the idea that hierarchy is inherently oppressive is silly. I also engaged by further expanding my thoughts in the reply to zeezee on top of engaging with the idea of “epistemic-authority” and how in my view that is merely a semantic retreat substitutimg changing the name for changing the thing.

      Yes the terrible oppression of the child by their parent, the nurse by the doctor, the nuclear power janitorial staff by the safety staff

      This was not engaging it was mocking, you can fuck around all you want I see what you are doing.

            Given how you respond to people actually trying to engage with you by throwing a little tantrum, why the fuck wouldn’t I just shit talk you

        Definitely not the most polite tone you’re right maybe I was being a bit mean but it was still engaging with your point more than your smug posting reply was engaging with anything at least.

            It wasn’t mocking it was a genuine point delivered not as polite as could be (there is a difference). You said hierarchy is inherently oppressive I countered pointing out it seems silly to call the hierarchy between parent and child oppressive or between safety staff and other staff at dangerous industrial locations or between doctors and nurses. If these examples are not oppressive and in many cases actually positive it then brings into dispute the idea of oppression as some inherint or intrinsic aspect of hierarchy as opposed hierarchy simply being a useful social construct that can be used in many ways depending on outside factors such as class content etc.
